JUVENILE SOLDIERING.
The noy’s Mother Had to Give the j
Counteralgn Before She Could
Approach the Barracks.
Since the tocsin of war has sounded,
even the children in the nursery have
their drills and go through the sem­
blance of war, says the Des Moines
News. In the northern part of the city
a company of boys has been formed, and
there is nothing done ntCamp McKinley,
prolmbly not at Chickamauga, which
they do not attempt. What with their
blue overalls and white jackets they
look quite soldierly at times! The
mothers in the neighborhood realized
that they might expert anything from
their warlike sons, and so were not sur­
prised a few days ago when the an­
nouncement was made that the boys
were going into barracks in a barn in
the neighborhood. They had been do­
ing their own cooking for some time and
uow they would be satisfied with noth­
ing short of sleeping in their trousers
and on the hay. On the first night spent
by them ln*the barn, the mother of one
of the boys had occasion to go to speak
to her son. Up and down in front of
the improvised barracks moved the sen­
tinel.
“Halt! Who goes there?” rang out
the stern voice of the guard.
"A friend,” meekly answered thelady,
deeply impressed with the solemnity of
the occasion.
“Advance and give the countersign,”
was the next order.
Happily one of the boys, in deepest
secrecy, had told his mother the mystic
word, and the latter had imparted it to
her neighbor.
Going close to the sentinel the lady
whispered: “Dewey.”
“We do,” came the answer.
TELEGRAPH POLE FOR A SHOP
A Harrietta Dealer Wlio I n Doing a
IluNliiiiAf IluNlneNN In the Mid­
dle of Weot Street.
A telegraph pole in West street. New
York, is utilized as a store, says the Sun
of that city. The pole stands in the
middle of the street, not far fromGanse-
voort market. The stock of the “Etore”
consists of harness and saddler's hard­
ware. These articles are hung upon
iron spikes driven in the pole. The pro­
prietor, who is also clerk, cashier and
"barker,” carries some of the stock on
his person. Lighter weight articles are
around his neck; currycombs, brushes
and other articles are in his pockets.
He holds a bunch of whips under one
arm and carries one las.h in his hand
He circles about his "store,” crying his
wares to the passers by. There are few
streets in New York where there is as
much teaming as in West street, and
most of the trade that comes to the tele­
graph pole is from teamsters.
“What does he do when it rains?”
That is always the question of those
who notice the odd place of business.
The proprietor shifts his stock across
the street to a place which he patron­
izes and his patronage pays the rent.
But he does not shut up shop on rainy
days. Having stored the bulk of hfs
stock he goes on a soliciting jaum
among the shops, carrying a few “side
lines,” like commercial agents of the
more pretentious class, and these are
salable anywhere.
SPANISH PROVERBS ON WOMEN
Sayinirs That Illuatrute the Eitlma-
tion In Which The Fair
Sex Are Held.
Spaniards have a weakness for prov­
erbs. The common everyday conversa­
tion of the people contains scores of
pithy sayings more or less wise that
express briefly the ideas of the Cas-
tiliaDS on various subjects.
Among
these are some about women that do
not show a very high estimation of the
sex, and most of which would not apply
to the American woman, w hether or not
they may be true of the land of the
castanets. Some of the best known
are:
Choose neither a wife nor lir.en by
candle light.
Women and weather are not to be
trusted.
No season is as brief as a woman's
love.
A woman may be loyal in love, but
never to lovers.
Woman is a curious creature with
long hair and short ideas.
A girl’s hair draws more than a ship’s
cable.
Woman is a guitar the sweetness of
whose tone depends upon the player.
He who has a handsome wife or a
castle on the frontier is never without
fear.
